1 Corinthians 11 : 1 (NLT)

And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

1 Corinthians 11 : 2 (NLT)

I am so glad that you always keep me in your thoughts, and that you are following the teachings I passed on to you.

1 Corinthians 11 : 3 (NLT)

But there is one thing I want you to know: The head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians 11 : 4 (NLT)

A man dishonors his head if he covers his head while praying or prophesying.

1 Corinthians 11 : 5 (NLT)

But a woman dishonors her head if she prays or prophesies without a covering on her head, for this is the same as shaving her head.

1 Corinthians 11 : 6 (NLT)

Yes, if she refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut off all her hair! But since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, she should wear a covering.

1 Corinthians 11 : 7 (NLT)

A man should not wear anything on his head when worshiping, for man is made in God's image and reflects God's glory. And woman reflects man's glory.

1 Corinthians 11 : 8 (NLT)

For the first man didn't come from woman, but the first woman came from man.

1 Corinthians 11 : 9 (NLT)

And man was not made for woman, but woman was made for man.

1 Corinthians 11 : 10 (NLT)

For this reason, and because the angels are watching, a woman should wear a covering on her head to show she is under authority.

1 Corinthians 11 : 11 (NLT)

But among the Lord's people, women are not independent of men, and men are not independent of women.

1 Corinthians 11 : 12 (NLT)

For although the first woman came from man, every other man was born from a woman, and everything comes from God.

1 Corinthians 11 : 13 (NLT)

Judge for yourselves. Is it right for a woman to pray to God in public without covering her head?

1 Corinthians 11 : 14 (NLT)

Isn't it obvious that it's disgraceful for a man to have long hair?

1 Corinthians 11 : 15 (NLT)

And isn't long hair a woman's pride and joy? For it has been given to her as a covering.

1 Corinthians 11 : 16 (NLT)

But if anyone wants to argue about this, I simply say that we have no other custom than this, and neither do God's other churches.

1 Corinthians 11 : 17 (NLT)

But in the following instructions, I cannot praise you. For it sounds as if more harm than good is done when you meet together.

1 Corinthians 11 : 18 (NLT)

First, I hear that there are divisions among you when you meet as a church, and to some extent I believe it.

1 Corinthians 11 : 19 (NLT)

But, of course, there must be divisions among you so that you who have God's approval will be recognized!

1 Corinthians 11 : 20 (NLT)

When you meet together, you are not really interested in the Lord's Supper.

1 Corinthians 11 : 21 (NLT)

For some of you hurry to eat your own meal without sharing with others. As a result, some go hungry while others get drunk.

1 Corinthians 11 : 22 (NLT)

What? Don't you have your own homes for eating and drinking? Or do you really want to disgrace God's church and shame the poor? What am I supposed to say? Do you want me to praise you? Well, I certainly will not praise you for this!

1 Corinthians 11 : 23 (NLT)

For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread

1 Corinthians 11 : 24 (NLT)

and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me."

1 Corinthians 11 : 25 (NLT)

In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant between God and his people-- an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it."

1 Corinthians 11 : 26 (NLT)

For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord's death until he comes again.

1 Corinthians 11 : 27 (NLT)

So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 11 : 28 (NLT)

That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup.

1 Corinthians 11 : 29 (NLT)

For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God's judgment upon yourself.

1 Corinthians 11 : 30 (NLT)

That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.

1 Corinthians 11 : 31 (NLT)

But if we would examine ourselves, we would not be judged by God in this way.

1 Corinthians 11 : 32 (NLT)

Yet when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

1 Corinthians 11 : 33 (NLT)

So, my dear brothers and sisters, when you gather for the Lord's Supper, wait for each other.

1 Corinthians 11 : 34 (NLT)

If you are really hungry, eat at home so you won't bring judgment upon yourselves when you meet together. I'll give you instructions about the other matters after I arrive.
